 the base tray comprises a first positioning clamp piece, wherein the first positioning clamp piece is disposed on the side wall of the base tray; and   the detachable tray further comprises a second positioning clamp piece configured to be clamped with the first positioning clamp piece, thereby connecting the detachable tray and the base tray in position.   
     
     
         6 . The docking station according to  claim 5 , wherein
 the first positioning clamp piece is disposed on at least one of two ends of the side wall of the base tray.   
     
     
         7 . The docking station according to  claim 5 , wherein
 one of the first positioning clamp piece and the second positioning clamp piece comprises a positioning hole; and another one of the first positioning clamp piece and the second positioning clamp piece comprises a positioning snap.   
     
     
         8 . The docking station according to  claim 2 , wherein
 the detachable tray further comprises a blocking arm disposed on at least one end of the brushroll groove.   
     
     
         9 . The docking station according to  claim 8 , wherein
 the blocking arm has a greater height than a side wall of the accommodation groove.   
     
     
         10 . The docking station according to  claim 1 , wherein
 an end of the support base away from the base tray is provided with a support groove configured to accommodate a part of the device body; and the support base comprises a first interface disposed in the support groove, wherein the first interface is at least one of a first charging interface or a first communication interface.   
     
     
         11 . The docking station according to  claim 10 , wherein
 the first interface comprises:   a first charging holder, provided with a cavity;   a first terminal, disposed in the cavity and configured to be in plug-in connection with a second terminal on the cleaning device; and   a water-proof layer, coating at least a part of the first charging holder to protect the first terminal.   
     
     
         12 . The docking station according to  claim 11 , wherein
 the cavity is provided with a cavity inlet configured to guide the second terminal into the cavity for plug-in connection with the first terminal.   
     
     
         13 . The docking station according to  claim 11 , wherein
 the water-proof layer comprises:   a water-proof flexible plastic head, disposed on a side of the cavity away from the base tray, and configured to be switchable between an open state and a closed state, wherein   the water-proof flexible plastic head is switched to the open state under pressing of the second terminal when the cleaning device is placed back onto the docking station and is in plug-in connection with the first interface, enabling the second terminal to pass through the water-proof flexible plastic head and enter the cavity to be in plug-in connection with the first terminal; and   when the cleaning device is not supported by the docking station, the water-proof flexible plastic head is in the closed state to protect the first terminal in the cavity.   
     
     
         14 . The docking station according to  claim 11 , wherein
